Timberdoodle's Review

Understanding Geometry

The successful completion of this colorful 272-page book will prepare middle schoolers for high school geometry. 


Understanding Geometry covers more than 50% of the concepts taught in high school geometry using a step-by-step approach. It teaches the reasoning behind the properties taught in geometry instead of merely asking your student to memorize them. 


Students are also taught the basics of geometric proofs and coordinate geometry in a way middle school students can understand. Students who struggle with high school geometry usually have lower standardized test scores because it is a fundamental subject in high school standardized testing.


A glossary of terms that every student should master is included. This book can be used as a classroom textbook in Grades 7, 8, or 9 (usually over two years) or as a reference for high school students. This book covers more than the National Math Standards for middle school mathematics.



This book contains the answers. A free, downloadable Detailed Solutions PDF is also available.

NOTE: It is our recommendation that students complete Understanding Pre-Algebra before attempting Understanding Geometry.
